Modi-Trump handshake
PM Modi and Donald Trump greeted each other and walked the red carpet to the stage at the NRG Stadium. Both the leaders were welcomed onto the stage and the National Anthems of both India and the US were played. This was the first time that both the leaders were sharing a stage together. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had arrived at the stage of the most-awaited 'Howdy, Modi' event exactly 21:40 IST as Houston's Mayor Sylvester Turner and the US lawmakers welcomed him. Amid loud cheers and chants of 'Modi, Modi', the Prime Minister waved at the humongous 50,000 crowds gathered at the NRG Stadium.
